The Powkiddy RGB20 Pro is a budget handheld with a sharper screen and longer rated battery life than most devices at its price. Powkiddy's store lists a 3.2-inch IPS screen at 1024*768 with OCA full lamination, an ARM quad-core 1.8GHz CPU, 1GB of LPDDR4 RAM and an open source Linux system. Two TF slots keep the system and games on separate cards, which Powkiddy says means no game copying when you upgrade the system. The 5000mAh battery is rated for 10 hours with a 2.5-hour charge time, and the device has built-in 2.4G Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, vibration and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Powkiddy lists compatibility with MAME, N64, PS, GBA, NES, SFC, MD and NDS emulators among others. It costs $69.99. The screen is the smallest here, the included 16GB card only holds the OS, and Powkiddy notes that specifications can change without notice. We compared documented features and published prices only.
